"Where in the damn hell is Lecture Hall D" Tatiana complained as we climbed the 4th set of stairs

"Girl, i don't know but i do know is that we for sure are late" Renee replied as we stopped and took a look at the map for the 8th time

"It says here, we're about 3 classes away from it" I explained pointing at the red dot saying 'You Are Here'

"Thank the Lord" Renee exclaimed as we quickened our speed, our feet clashing with the floor with each quickened step

"Okay class I'm going to call roll" we heard the professor announce as my eyes widened, can't believe we're late on the first day

"Chantelle Evans...Chantelle Evans" the professor called his voice laced with disinterest

"Here!" I yelled as I ran into the room, my breaths turning into pants "we're sorry we're late"

"Miss Evans, I could care less that you're late just come in and sit down quietly" The prof replied his voice low and dull as his eyes barely let his paper

"Miss Renee Taylor"

"Here"

"Miss Tatiana Loch"

"Here, by the way we sincerely apologize for being-"

"I don't care Miss Loch...Mr Williams"

"Here"

"Oh my God, y'all it's him" Renee whispered as she hit Tatiana in the arm

"Who" whispered Tatiana "and better be Michael damn Ealy because you better be tripping with violence"

"Girl no but I wish..Micheal Ealy can get it" Renee replies "but it's my future baby daddy, that fine ass black man"

"Ouuu he look better in person" Tatiana adds as they both stare him down as he reaches over to his backpack pulling a binder out

"The both of you need serious help" I replied shaking my head at the thirstiness

"Girl why you out here tryna act like that  black man is not fine, like just the definition of his back muscles are exciting" Tatiana replies as Renee noddes in agreement, these girls need help

"Alright class, welcome to English 100 it's a class where we broaden your literature mind and one way to do that is by starting a research project on poetry" the professor says catching the attention of everyone as they all groan

"I'm sorry if you guys think this is a shitty action from me, but you're in university so get used to it" he replies as he turns on the projector "for this research project you need to work in pairs, and I'm not paring you all together this isn't preschool, just pick wisely"

"You and Me?" I asked Tatiana as she nodded

"You and me" she replies

"Yalllll look who's coming" Renee whispered/screamed as the same black guy we saw earlier in campus walked up to us

"Hey um, how y'all doin'" he asked "I was wondering if I could pair up with one of you"

"Yes, yes I wanna pair up with you" Renee replied quickly "don't worry I'm a smart ass bitch honey"

"Well actually I came to ask you" he replies looking towards Tatiana

'Girl you better not leave me' I thought "well actually she's my part-"

"Sure, I'll be your partner" Tatiana replied as I looked at her in disbelief

"Oooh she did you dirty" whispered Renee as Tatiana handed over her phone towards him

"Alright thanks, i'm Elijah by the way"

"Tatiana" she replies as he nods and walks away

"I can't believe you" I said in disbelief

"What?" She asked nonchalantly as she placed her phone on her desk

"You're going to ditch me for some dark muscles in a shirt" I replied as she looked around her eyebrows scrunched together

"Uhh..yes, yes I am" she replies nodding as Renee high fives her

"That's my girl" Renee praises as a sighed

"Fine have fun with your little Idris Elba wanna be, guess I'm on my own" I sighed as I gathered my things

"Girl you got me, like what" Renee pipes up as she points at herself with her freshly done nails

"But you leave everything to last minute, and who has to carry everything on her own...this girl" I replied as I got up from my seat

"Uh that was once, and I had diarrhea so unless you wanted me to shit everywhere, I had to bounce" Renee defends as she untangles her purse strap from the desk legs

"Yeah okay, so you're tryna tell me you had diarrhea every group project" I replied as I turned around to look at her

"Oh girl hush, I'm grown now let's just partner up, unless you wanna pair up with one of these crusty looking, broke students" She replies as she points around the room

"Ugh fine, but if you leave me hanging.."

"I won't..damn okay so I think we should do Langston Hughes cause he's a dope ass poet" Renee replies as we walked out

She better not leave me hanging, or you bet imma be swinging

The fine man above is Elijah Williams
